THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
What Maine Men Say of the Place to
be Selected.
Especial to the Press.l

AUGUSTA, Dec. 1.-Hon. j. Manchester
Haynes, member for Maine of the Republi-
can National Committee, departed for WASH
ington today to attend the meeting of the
committee in Washington, Dec. g.
He was asked relative to the location Of
the National Convention and said: II have
no personal preference as to place further
than that should favor that location which
is for the best interests Of the party. If it
should appear that one place would promote
the interests of the Republican party any
more than another, | should advocate it.
New York would be handler for people in
the East, and it has been represented that
the holding of the convention there might
add to Mr.. Blaine's strength in that State.
Again, it was stated that the West was
nearer the centre of the Union, and Mr..
Blaine might gain by locating the convention
there"
"What locality would Mr.. Blaine favor,
think YOU"
.'Mr. Blaine and his friends have no
preference to my knowledge other than for
the welfare of the party"
Mr.. Haynes has received letters from the
committees of Omaha, Minneapolis, Chicago,
Cincinnati and st. Louis, advocating the ad-
vantages of their respective cities
Hon. j. II. Manley will attend the meet
ing of Republican clubs in New York, and
probably the session of the National Com
mittee. He said today: II do not think the
friends of Mr.. Blaine have any preference
as to where the convention shall be held. 1t
will, in my judgment, make no difference as
affecting Mr.. Blaine. whether it is held in
Chicago, Cincinnati or New York. The only
questions to be considered are what locality
will best accommodate the delegates and
what will be for the best interests of the
party"

wAsHIncron's EXHIBITIONS.
Two Centenniais TO be Observed
There In the Next Four Years.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The executive
committee of the board of promotion for the
proposed centennial celebration in Washing
ton held meeting Tuesday evening at Will
lard's Hotel. 1t is proposed, in a short time,
to call a meeting of the entire board, which
is composed of some three hundred citizens
of Washington, for the purpose of hearing
report of what has been done and what is
proposed to be done in securing the success
of the celebration Of the centennial of the
constitution to be held in 1889. There is
another board, which is national IN charac-
ter, and has representatives from every State
in the Union, and the local board above re-
ferred to works in harmony with the ma
tional board.
Mr.. Anderson, the secretary of the board,
in conversation with reporter, said that In
the plan of the board this celebration was
exposition of the three Americas to be held
in 1892 in honor of the discovery Of America
by Columbus. "It is thought proper" he
continued, that the celebration OF the cen
tennial of the constitution, should be held In
Washington, and that the representatives S 70 Oh
vited to take part in the celebration OF the
centennial of the constitution on which their
own constitutions have been modelled. Inc
date which the board has fixed Tor the cen.
L6nDlal OF the cOQStlLutlOu 10 tuC ttu VI
March, 1885, There is, however, difference
of opinion on this point, and there are four
other dates, all of which, it is claimed, are
historically correct. In Philadelphia, you
remember, last fall, they celebrated the adop-
tiOn of the constitution by the convention,
and they maintained that this date was the
true centennial anniversary Of the constitu-
tion. But Mr.. Losing, the historian, point
ed out that instead of selecting that date 1t
would be more correct to have the celebra-
tion in june 1888, which would be the CEN
tennial of the ratification of constitution by
the ninth State. Then it was that the con-
stitution received the Endorsement OF the
required proportion of the thirteen States.
The board, however, thinks that as the con-
stitution went into effect on March A, 1883,
that date is its true centennial. In New
York city, however. they are making pre-
parations for a centennial observance on
April 80, 1889, for on the 30th Of April, 1883,
General Washington was inaugurated as the
first President OF the United States, and on
this account it is claimed that it is proper to
celebrate the centennial on that day. There
is no objection on the part of the board to
constitutional celebration on that day or any
other, in New York city or in any other city.
but the board does maintain that there
should be some observance of this anniver-
sary in the capital of the nation. The entire
matter will be presented to Congress for its
action at the coming session, and 1t Is hoped
that decision will be reached"

DIR. PARKER ExoNERATED.
Conflicting cabIegrams Bear the
BIain of the misunderstanding.

New YORK, Dec. Rev. Dr. Joseph
Parker had presumably recovered this morn
ing from the effects of his journey, for he
dined late and long at the Everett House,
but he did not feel well enough to explain
matters to reporters. His first business was
to take steps to harmonic the difficulties
which have arisen in connection with the re-
ceipts for the Beecher eulogy.
He telegraphed Deacon White, say
ing that he would be glad to see him at IL
o'clock.
Deacon White has been quoted as saying
that he thought that DR.. Parker would not
have the audacity to again set his foot on the
platform of Plymouth church after having
turned Mr.. BeecheI's death into an oppor-
tunity to make money for himself. Deacon
White called at the appointed hour, and was
admitted to DR.. Parker's room. He would
not tell the object of his visit.
A special meeting OF the Beecher statue
fund committee tonight, exonerated DR..
Parker from the charge of improperly re-
ceiving payment for the eulogy upon Beech
er. declaring that misunderstanding re-
suited from conflicting cablegrams. Resolu-
tions adopted characterized DR.. Parker as
a most honorable Christian gentleman. 1t
is understood that DR.. Parker will occupy
Plymouth pulpit Sunday.

SUING HER MISTRESS.
The Case Of a Colored Woman Who
Remained a Slave.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. Esther Dunbar,
formerlslave, is suing her mistress in JUS
tice Hares court for wages due herself and
daughter. She said that she was born
slave in the Derringer family in Maryland,
and had lived with them for the fifty-odd
years of her life up to April of last year.
When the war ended she came to Philadel-
phia with Mrs. Hester Lena Derringer, and
had served that lady faithfully up to April,
1886. Four years ago Mrs. Derringer prom
ised to pay her $3.50 per week for her SER
vices. Up to that time she had received
nothing except board and clothing, for her
self and daughter Nora, aged seventeen, a
pretty, light colored girl. who acted as cham
bermaid. Mrs. Derringer never paid the
money and Esther left her with the deter
mination of looking after herself.
The old colored woman said she had al
ways lived with the family, and that her
children were born on the place, but she
could not tell how many children she had.
The family would dispose of them in some
way or other and would tell her that they
were dead. The only child living was Nora,
born in this city.
William Herbert, colored friend of Es-
theirs, testified that Mrs. Derringer told him
after her old servant left that she owed her
wages, and was willing to spend $500 in pro-
curing her home, but that she would not
give her any money to "squander among mig
gers" Herbert's wife testified that Esther's
appearance, while she was at Mrs. Derrin-
gers house, made her sheart ache. She was
compelled to wear canvas underclothing and
base ball shoes.

SHARP OUT OF JAIL.
The Aged New York BoodIer Released
Under sac, 900 Bonds.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The question as to
the release of Jacob Sharp on bail was appa-
rently settled Yesterday by the lawyers. who
agreed all around that he was entitled to
bail, and that no objection would be made by
the district attorney, beyond the reasonable
persistence that bail should befixed at high
figure.
Sharp was taken in carriage this morning
from Ludlow street jail to the sheriff's Office.
He seemed very feeble and was supported on
either side by the warden and deputy sheriff.
while he leaned on two canes. The order
granting a new trial was settled before Judge
Barrett. BY mutual agreement 1t was de-
cided that Sharp's bond will be fixed at
$40 600. Isaac Hendrix and George Shepherd
each justified In the sum named. Judge Bar
rett then released Sharp who was at once
driven home
